Alexander "Sawney" Bean - Beginnings
According to lore and legend, Alexander Bean was born in East Lothian during the reign of King James I of Scotland (the early 15th century); however, some sources date the tale to earlier eras. His father was a ditch digger and a hedge trimmer, and Bean tried to take up the family profession, but quickly realised that he had little taste for honest work.
Bean left home with a woman (according to one version, she was a witch called Black Agnes Douglas, and they were run out of town) who shared his views on honest labour. They eventually made their way to a cave in Bannane Head, near Galloway County (now South Ayrshire), where they decided to make home. The cave reached 200 yards into the rock and during the high tide the entrance was blocked by water. It is supposed to be the cave now called Bennane Cave, in Ballantrae in Ayrshire. There they are said to have lived undiscovered for twenty-five years.
